THE SUIT TO RECOVER PEES.
Tho Capital Journal bollovos tho public havo a right to know what Is
tbolng done In tho Btilt to compol cx-Sccrctnry of Stato Dunbar to restore
Jto tho Btato treasury a largo amount of fees collected by that official
slurlng his term of office.
Tho Journal doos not tako this position for any personal reasons, or
"for any political olTcct It may havo on any party or Individual, RUT B13
"CAUSE IT IS RIGHT TO COMPELTj RESTITUTION OP PEES IL
LEGALLY COLLECTED RY ANY STATE OFFICIAL.
Tho amount whether It bo $100 or $100,000 makes not tho least dif
ference. Tho prlnclplo Is Involved whothor any official may vlolato tho
constitution of tho Btato with Impunity to his own profit?
So, then, thnt our readers may bo tho Judges of tho caso. Tho Capl
lnl Journal proposes TO LAY THE. PACTS OP THE CASE REFORE
THEM AS IT PROCEEDS, AND IF THE CASE GOES TO TRIAL AS
MUCH OF THE TESTIMONY AS POSSIBLE.
Feb. 21 1007, J. K. Soars of Polk county fllod a suit In tho circuit
court of Marlon county allOKOdlnc that F. I. Dunbar, its socrctnry of
nlnlo, had for tho eight yoars prior to January 14, 1907, collectod and
illegally rotnluod fees In tho sum of $100,000.
Plnlntlff Soars nB a rosldont taxpayer asked an accounting, that said
Dunbar bring his books Into court, AND SHOW WHAT SUMS HE HAD
80 RECEIVED AND ILLEGALLY RETAINED.
To this counsel for Dunbar domuirod, nlloglng that Soars had not logal
capacity to hiio, ub supromo court ban hold Hitch suit must bo brought
upon rolntlon of tho Htato. This demurrer was sustained, as nil know
It must be.
Then counsel for Sears asked to amond and filed a motion to substi
tute tho district attorney of tho Third Judicial district as plaintiff, ON
RELATION OF THE STATE AND 1.17V THE SUIT GO TO TRIAL UPON
THE FACTS.
This motion was resisted by counsol for Dunbar, nud was granted
boforo .In (I go Galloway at McMlnnvlllo, and tho court allowod tho motion
anil inakoH tho Htato plaintiff In place of J. K. Soars, and Dunbar ap
peals. Tho case now goes to tho supremo court of this state, and thnt court
lias already decided a Hlmlla. case and cannot well rofuso to allow tho
trial to proceed upon 'tho relation of tho state prosocutlug attorney.
What counsel for Dunbar Is ronMy lighting Is tho ordpr to compel
thnt official to bring his books Into court AND SHOW UP THE DETAILS
OF THE FEES AND COMMISSIONS OF VARIOUS KINDS OF THAT
OFI'MCE.
The Capital Journal hopoB that the whole mnttor may bo shown up
und lot tho facts eoiuo out, nud let the people boo Just what tho hired
nion of the cointnonwoulth havo boon rocolvlng In violation of tho con
utltutlon. Tho Capital Journal In 1902 and for a yoar provlous showed up tho
wnormoiiH hiiiuh obtaluad by various stato officials In foos, porqulsltos,
und emoluments.
Mr. Dunbar was nominated and olootod upon a platform piomlslug to
put nil statu officials upon u Hat Hulury.
Mr. FurnUh was tho Republican candidate for govoruor upon a lint
nnliiry platform, but the Republican nowspapors of that oampnlgn AD
VISED IIIM TO IGNORE THE SlMtlKCT, AND HE DID TO HIS GREAT
SORROW.
Then th loKlulaturu juggled with tho lint salary rofnrm and dofontod
It going Into otfeot for four yours. For at loast four- yours Mr. Dunbar
cnlloi'tud those feus, perquUlto and omolumonts In violntlon of law, ot
party platform, nud by leKlttlutlvo connivance.
ICxurtly tho huuio thing Is bolng dono with tho stato printing olllco
All tlm other Mtate officials havo bcon placed upon n lint salary AND
NONE OF Til KM ARE RESIGNING ON ACCOUNT OF IT.
At tho hint sUit election, placing the stato printer on n flat salary
WAS MARK AN ISSI'E I1KFOHIC THE PEOPLE and tho constitution
whs vxpretutly ainiMided w that the Prlntor might bo put on n ronsonnblo
Hulury mul tho foe out off.
Tho logUliituro has Juggled tho mutter and tho printer Is to draw
iibout 1100,000 more than tho poopie should over pay for thnt depart
ment. NEW FEE GRAIN'S HAVE BEEN' INVENTED BY THE LAST LEG
ISLATURK, nud this tight In tho courts Is to oompol tho Judlolary to go
on rocord for complete nbolltlon of the grafting of lllognl foos by any
jiinn while In office.
That will be tho termination of this suit If It over comes to trial. Tho
I'oustltutlon and tho laws tire so plain, the decisions of tho supromo court
ho mandatory, there Is no other outooiuo.
Tho Capital Journal bollovos the people have a right to havo this
mnttor determined. JUDGE GALLOWAY IS TO BE COMMENDED
FOR REFUSING TO ALLOW THEOXSE TO BE JUGGLED OUT OF
fOl'UT ON ANY PAUSE PRETENSE.
It Is not likely that tho monoy taken In violation of law by Mr. Dun
bar uu.l other officials and Mr. Bunlinr has done no more of this than
n down other--ran over bo recovered, but let the principle be estab
llsheil now and forever that officials ire not to tako nny pocket-money,
or fees or shlo-ginfu whntovor.

UMATILLA IRRIGATION PLANS.
First Application to Lauds Under
What Is Known n.s the Furnish
, Project.
A party returned from Echo
where they had been to witness the
first application of water to tho lands
In tho Inland Irrigation project, gen
erally known as tho Furnish ditch.
In Bponking of tho event to tho Enst
Oregonlan Mr. Adams said:
"Tho Page Ranch company, of
which J. W. Kylo Is manager, was
tho first to apply water for Irriga
tion to lands under tho FurnlBh
ditch. This company took possession
of 100 acres March 15, and slnco
then hns cleared, plowed and plant
ed to crops 120 acres, tho chango In
that time from tho native sagebrush
condition bolng marvelous.
"Mr. Kylo has 72 acres In pota
toes, all of which are up so that the
rowB can bo scon from ono end of
tho field to tho other; tho remainder
of tho land Is In onions, peas, sweet
corn, cnntcloupcB and watermelons,
and yesterday work began putting
out 10 ncres of cabbago plants and nn
equnl amount of tomatoes.
"A romnrkablo condition of the
ground wns shown In tho amount of
molsturo contained. Although no
water had yet bcon applied, an Inch
bolow tho Burfnco tho earth was
moist and all vegotatlon Bhowod an
oxcollont color nnd vigorous growth
This domonBtrntos tho capnclty of
tho soil for obsorblng molBturo from
tho rnlna of tho Bprlng nnd Its ability
of retaining it.
"Mr. Kylo has adopted tho corru
gated system of Irrigation. Very
shallow furrows aro run with thq
slop of tho land, two foot apart. At
rlghtanglos with tho corrugations a
distributing ditch Is constructed and
boxes mndo with lath connect tho
ditch with tho furrows. Whon tho
wntor la turned Into tho ditch check
gates aro placed bo as to ralso tho
water nbovo tho food boxes, permit
ting It to flow down tho corrugations
until tho section nbovo tho check has
rccolvcd sufficient wntor, whon tho
check 1b moved to a point lower
down and tho Biimo method repeated
Tho corrugations wore mndo about
300 foot long, nnd by tho tlmo tho
wntor had roached tho farthor oul
It hnd subbod out botweon tho fur
rows thoroughly wotting tho entire
soctlon, and demonstrating tlio enso
with which tho work of Irrigation can
bo accomplished.
"Thoro woro n numbor of intorost

work of Irrigation bogun.nmong them

A Valuable Find.
Some two weeks ago, M. P. Long,
who owns a farm In Richardson Gap
was working In one of his fields.
Seeing something bright on tho
ground, ho stooped to pick it up,
thinking It was a brass gun cap box
that ho had dropped from his pocket.
Much to his surprlBO and delight, 11
proved to bo a California gold ?20
piece. Mr. Long thinks the pleco
had been plowed up last year and the
rains of tho past winter had washed
the dirt off of It.
Tho piece Is in excellent condition
being but little worn. It was coin
ed by Kollog & Co. of San Francisco
In 1855. On ono sldo is vlgnetto
head of tho goddess of liberty. On
tho brow 1b tho maker's namo as
nbovo stated. Beneath 1b tho Jato
and surrounding tho whole nro 13
star. On tho obverse sldo Is tho
American eagle with shield upon the
breast. Above and encircling tho
eaglo's head aro sunrays, upon which
Is a small wreath of 13 stars. On
tho outer edgo nro tho words "San
Frnnclsco, California Twenty D."
Tho milling upon the edgo Is quito
good. Tho News has made inquiry
ns to who tho probablo loser could
be. Some of tho vory old settlors
stnto that about tho year 18G8 or 9,
a cattle buyer lost n purBO somo
whero In tho vicinity of whero tho
coin waa found. Others says th.o
lato P. O. Smith lost $100 In $20
plocoB there or near there. Still
others soy, at ono tlmo thoro wns a
raco track In tho Gnp nnd It was
posslblo that somo of the habitues
of tho track might havo been tho
loser. A numbor of yeara ago, It
Is said that Enoch Cyrus found two
similar plccoa at about tho samo lo
cality. Later on u C0-cont Bllvor
pleco was also found there. Cortnln
It Is that tho pleco has lain In tho
ground thoro probably nearly 50
yoars, and has bcon plowed up doz
ens of times. Tho Nowb would like
for somo ono of tho collectors of
rnro coins nnd who la posted In tho
matter to Btato what Is tho market
valuo of tho pleco nt tho prosont
tlmo. Such coins nro scarco and nro
worth much moro than tho ropro
sontutlvo value. Santlam Nowb.

My Beat Friend.
Alexander Donion, who lives on
rurnl routo 1, Fort Edward, N. Y
says: "Dr. King's Now Dlscovory Is
my host earthly friend. It curod me
of asthma six yoars ago. It has also
porformed a wonderful euro of iu-
ciplont consumption for my son's
wlfo. Tho flrot bottlo ended tho tor
